Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
Well, since my daughter had preschool today, but my son doesn't - and I had the day off I decided intercooler day was today.

I got to help a little but my son did most of the work today. I was just told repeatedly to stop taking bolts out of the collection bucket and throwing them in a bush. I also kept repeatedly taking the wrenches out of the box and spinning them on the drill. I just don't listen sometimes.
Popped the bumper off, way easy. 8 9/16 bolts and it came right off. It also wasn't as heavy as I was expecting. On the inside was a sticker that said "97 dart frt" so this bumper's been changed. Oh well - it's just interesting to find out.

After the grill and headlight equipment came out, I could see how I could possibly do mounting and routing of the piping. Just like I thought, my change to an intercooler on the build made this build 100x more difficult. lol. Oh well. Gotta press on. The driver's side I will be able to route into the engine bay right under the battery tray, and the passenger side will go up, and over towards the fender wall and pass underneath the alternator. Easy. Naturally my 3" hole saw took forever for me to find, but luckily I won't need it just yet. The horns did have to come off, and I will relocate those. I may be able to just flip them towards the radiator once the piping is in. We'll see.

I took the hood latch/ grill support out. I have hood pins, and it is just going to be in the way. Once it was off I utilized the two upper mounting bolts to mount my hanging brackets that will support the intercooler. I figure once the piping is on it will be pretty stable.

We checked to make sure the bumper is not going to strike it, and there is plenty of clearance. Now to just modify the grill and see if that can go back on. With this stuff going on I x-ed the HID's and halos. I'll sell em on here with the ballasts if someone wants. I'm going back to normal headlights to get all the space I can.
Pretty Soon is nap time, so I'll get to do some cutting and drilling then...
